No. Yes. Sure. And, no!

The output you showed us from the ipcs utility on your Fedora Linux distro does not conform to the standard in lots of ways. You need to keep the full script I gave you (with the exception of the echo) to get something that will work with the ipcs utility you have.

You said that the output from your ipcs looks like:
Code:
------ Shared Memory Segments --------
key        shmid      owner      perms      bytes      nattch     status      
0x00000000 262145     bob        600        393216     2          dest         
0x00000000 2523138    bob        600        393216     2          dest         
0x00000000 2555907    bob        600        393216     2          dest         
0x00000000 3375108    bob        600        998400     2          dest         
0x00000000 3440645    bob        666        40         1                       

------ Semaphore Arrays --------
key        semid      owner      perms      nsems     
0x000005b1 262146     bob        600        6         

------ Message Queues --------
key        msqid      owner      perms      used-bytes   messages

so:
Code:
/^0x/ && $3 == user {
        o = o type $2
}

selects lines where the 1st two characters on the line are 0x and the 3rd field is bob (which I marked in red above). For each selected line it adds a string based on the section of the output from ipcs and the ID from that line to the string saved in the variable o.

If you had a conforming ipcs utility, the output for the last line in each section would have been:
Code:
m 3440645  0x00000000 666        bob        40         1                       
s 262146   0x000005b1 600        bob        6

instead of the output you showed us:
Code:
0x00000000 3440645    bob        666        40         1                           
0x000005b1 262146     bob        600        6

So, for other people reading this thread who do have a conforming ipcs, they could use:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# Usage: ipcs [-mqs] | cleanipc
#
# This script reads output from the ipcs utility from standard input and uses
# ipcrm to remove all message queues, shared memory segments, and semaphore
# sets whose owner matches is the person who invoked this utility as determined
# by $USER from the environment.
ipcrm $(awk -v user="$USER" '
$1 ~ /^(m|q|s)$/ && $5 == user {
	o = o " -"$1 $2
}
END {	print o
}')
